Vectorworks Landscape – CAD and BIM software for garden and landscape design
Vectorworks Landscape is a powerful CAD and BIM software package for the professional planning and design of gardens, outdoor spaces and public open spaces. It is aimed in particular at landscape architects, planning practices, gardeners and landscapers, as well as urban planners. The software enables projects to be worked on from start to finish – from the initial 2D sketch through to the detailed 3D model, right through to construction planning and documentation. Specialised tools for terrain, planting, paths, paving and other landscape elements support precise and clear planning. Designs can be further developed through various planning phases and presented as clear plans or realistic 3D visualisations. This gives clients and project stakeholders a clear impression of the planned garden or outdoor space even before implementation.
